Description |
|---|---|
"Another Costumes" video from the Virtua Fighter History disc packed in with the Japanese version of Shenmue II. The costumes shown above are shown, along with a visibly different version of Sarah's subway stage. Lau's stage uses the song "Tears of Falling" instead of "Raging Wind"; the former of which would later be used in Virtua Fighter 3tb for the Dural version of Taka-Arashi's stage, and the "Underground" song from Sarah's stage has different instrumentation. The announcer is also different, using re-recorded voice clips from what sounds like the same actor from the first two games in the series, rather than the new one used in the final. |

A better look at Lau's stage, which begins at a different camera angle and has the same music as the above video. |

More early footage of Sarah's subway stage. |

A throw technique of Lion's that was removed from the final version, likely replaced by the "under the legs" surprise exchange. |
|
More of Shun's removed alt costume. |

Kage vs. Aoi in Aoi's stage. The waterfalls in the stage have a different height, and both Kage and Aoi's outfits have noticeable differences from the finalː Kage's shoes and pants are a different color, while Aoi's long, flowing sleeves are missing. |
